In this instrument:
                               albuminuria means an albumin to creatinine ratio of at least 3 mg/mmol.
                               aortic stenosis—see subsection 7(2).
                               being overweight or obese means:
(a)          having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or greater; or
(b)          for males, having a waist circumference exceeding 94 centimetres; or
(c)          for females, having a waist circumference exceeding 80 centimetres.
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:
(a)          having a glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for at least 3 months; or
(b)          having albuminuria for at least 3 months; or
(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.
                               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 serum low density lipoprotein level greater than 4.0 mmol/L; or
(c)           a serum triglyceride level greater than or equal to 2.0 mmol/L; or
(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.
                                  MRCA means the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
                               one pack-year means the amount of tobacco consumed in smoking 20 cigarettes per day for a period of 1 year,
