  In this instrument:
                                     abnormality of kidney structure or function means:
         (a)          having a glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; or
         (b)          having kidney damage, as evidenced by renal biopsy, imaging studies, albuminuria, urinary sediment abnormalities or other markers of abnormal renal function; or
         (c)          having had a kidney transplant.
                                     being exposed to second-hand smoke means being in an enclosed space and inhaling smoke from burning tobacco products or smoke that has been exhaled by another person who is smoking.
                                     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.
                                     chronic kidney disease means an abnormality of kidney structure or function that has been present for at least three months.
Note: abnormality of kidney structure or function is also defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                     clinically significant disorder of mental health as specified means one of the following conditions, which is of sufficient severity to warrant ongoing management:
         (a)           depressive disorder; or
         (b)          schizophrenia.
         Note 1: Management of the condition may involve regular visits (for example, at least monthly) to a psychiatrist, counsellor or general practitioner.
         Note 2: To warrant ongoing management does not require that any actual management was received or given for the condition.
                                     cumulative equivalent dose means the total dose of ionising radiation received by the particular organ or tissue from external exposure, internal exposure or both, apart from normal background radiation exposure in Australia, calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Guide to calculation of 'cumulative equivalent dose' for the purpose of applying ionising radiation factors contained in Statements of Principles determined under Part XIA of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 (Cth), Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, as in force on 2 August 2017.
         Note 1: Examples of circumstances that might lead to exposure to ionising radiation include being present during or subsequent to the testing or use of nuclear weapons, undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedures involving ionising radiation, and being a member of an aircrew, leading to increased levels of exposure to cosmic radiation.
         Note 2: For the purpose of dose reconstruction, dose is calculated as an average over the mass of a specific tissue or organ. If a tissue is exposed to multiple sources of ionising radiation, the various dose estimates for each type of radiation must be combined.
                             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; or
(b)            a
