One size does not fit all — application of accelerometer thresholds in chronic disease

We would like to congratulate Barkeret al.1 on their recent publication comparing physical activity (PA) of those with and without chronic disease among the UK Biobank participants. The authors conclude that those with chronic disease have lower PA levels than their healthy peers. However, we would like to draw attention to what we believe is a key limitation of this study.
