In this instrument:

                                     albuminuria means an albumin to creatinine ratio of at least 3 milligrams/millimole.
                                     ambient, chronically polluted air as specified means air with average annual concentrations of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of < 2.5 µm (PM2.5) exceeding 25 µg/m3.
                                     being obese means having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater.
Note: BMI is also defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                     BMI means W/H2 where:
(a)          W is the person's weight in kilograms; and
(b)          H is the person's height in metres.
                                     cerebral arteriolosclerosis means thickening of the walls of small arteries or arterioles of the brain, due to cell proliferation or hyaline deposition.
                                     chronic kidney disease means:
(a)          having a glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for at least 3 months;
(b)          having albuminuria for at least 3 months;
(c)          having kidney damage, as evidenced by renal biopsy, imaging studies, urinary sediment abnormalities or other markers of abnormal renal function; or
(d)          having had a kidney transplant.
Note: albuminuria is also defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                     dyslipidaemia means persistently abnormal blood lipid levels, diagnosed by a medical practitioner and evidenced by:
(a)          a serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol level less than 1.0 mmol/L;
(b)          a serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol level greater than 4.0 mmol/L;
(c)          a serum triglyceride level greater than or equal to 2.0 mmol/L;
(d)          a total serum cholesterol level greater than 5.5 mmol/L; or
(e)          the regular administration of drug therapy to normalise blood lipid levels.
                                     DSM-5-TR means the American Psychiatric Association: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision. Washington, DC, American Psychiatric Association, 2022.

                                     major neurocognitive disorder means:
(a)          evidence of significant cognitive decline from a previous level of performance in one or more cognitive domains (complex attention, executive function, learning and memory, language, perceptual-motor, or social cognition) based on:
(i)            concern of the individual, a knowledgeable informant, or the clinician that there has been a significant decline in cognitive function; and
(ii)         a substantial impairment in cognitive performance, documented by standardised neuropsychological testing or another qualified clinical assessment; and
(b)          the cognitive deficits interfere with independence in everyday activities (that is, at a minimum, requiring assistance with complex instrumental activities of daily living such as paying bills or managing medications).
                                     MET means a unit of measurement of the level of physical exertion. 1 MET = 3.5 ml of oxygen/kg of body weight per minute, 1.0 kcal/kg of body weight per hour or resting metabolic rate.
                                     mild neurocognitive disorder means evidence of modest cognitive decline from a previous level of performance in one or more
