      ab: Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate posture and physical activity of parents of children with Esophageal atresia (EA) and compare them with parents of healthy children. Methods: The study included 20 children with EA aged 2–6 years and their parents as study group, and 20 healthy children aged 2–6 years and their parents as control group. The New York Posture Rating Test was used to assess posture, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire‐Short Form was used to assess physical activity of parents. Results: Children in groups were similar in terms of age, gender and weight (p > 0.05). Parents in groups were similar in terms of age, height, weight, educational level and economic status (p > 0.05). Parents in the study group had higher postural impairment (p = 0.01). There was no significant difference between parents in term of physical activity score (p = 0.07). Although not significantly different, 70% (n = 14) of study group were found to be inactive compared to 35% (n = 7) of control group. Conclusion: In conclusion, the posture of parents of children with EA was more affected than parents of healthy children, and both groups were similar in terms of physical activity, but parents of children with EA had more inactive lifestyle.
