雑誌『赤い鳥』に投稿された童謡作品の選定を通して、「童謡」というジャンルにおさまらない「自由詩」を見出し、学齢期の児童に向けて自由詩の創作を奨励した北原白秋は、その流れの中で幼児の詩にも注目するようになった。白秋は幼児の詩について、「童謡」と「自由詩」両方の特質があるとみなし、幼児の発話は自然と歌謡の調子を帯びるものであるととらえている。本稿では、幼児詩の具体例として白秋の長男・隆太郎の詩をとりあげ、幼児の詩にみられる歌謡性が、音声言語の発達過程にある幼児の発話にみられる「繰り返し」という特質と関連するものであることを指摘した。

Background: Preventing and reducing frailty is an important challenge for Japan in the next decade, especially in metropolitan areas. We launched a community-wide intervention trial (the Ota Genki Senior Project) in 2016 to develop effective community-based strategies for frailty prevention in metropolitan areas. This report describes the study design and baseline survey.Methods: This study is a community-wide intervention trial that integrates participatory action research into a cluster non-randomized controlled trial for adults aged 65 years or older living in Ota City, Tokyo. We allocated 3 of 18 districts to an intervention group and the other 15 to a control group. Using a mailed self-administered questionnaire, we conducted a baseline survey of 15,500 residents (8,000 and 7,500 in the intervention and control groups, respectively) from July through August 2016. In addition to socioeconomic status and lifestyle variables, we assessed frailty status (primary outcome) and physical, nutritional, and psychosocial variables (secondary outcomes). Based on the baseline findings, an intervention to improve outcomes will be implemented as participatory action research. Follow-up surveys will be conducted in the same manner as the baseline survey.Results: A total of 11,925 questionnaires were returned (76.9% response rate; 6,105 [76.3%] and 5,820 [77.6%] in the intervention and control groups, respectively), and 11,701 were included in the analysis (mean age, 74.3 [standard deviation, 5.5] years; 48.5% were men).Conclusions: This study is expected to contribute to development of a prototype of a community-wide frailty prevention strategy, especially in metropolitan areas in Japan. Trial registration: UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000026515).
