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.
                                     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.
                                     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 cognitive domains (complex attention, executive function, learning and memory, language, perceptual-motor, or social cognition) based on:
(a)          concern of the individual, a knowledgeable informant, or the clinician that there has been a mild decline in cognitive function; and
(b)          a modest impairment in cognitive performance, documented by standardised neuropsychological testing or another qualified clinical assessment.
                                     MRCA means the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
                                     neuroimaging (magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography) findings means an image of an interior of a body obtained by medical techniques, that is usually obtained at a date after the clinical onset of the disease.
                                     one pack-year means the amount of tobacco consumed in smoking 20 cigarettes per day for a period of 1 year, or an equivalent amount of tobacco products.
