In Christmas 2025, the players of Como 1907 donated a BIA scale to the Paediatrics Department of Sant’Anna Hospital in San Fermo della Battaglia (CO). Unlike a traditional scale, this innovative device does not simply measure total body weight, but provides an in-depth analysis of body composition, distinguishing between fat mass, lean mass and body water levels.
This tool is particularly important in paediatric care, as it allows doctors to monitor obesity and malnutrition conditions more accurately, while also determining the basal metabolic rate, namely the body’s energy expenditure at rest.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is also a non-invasive, quick and painless technique which, thanks to its ease of use, can be applied in the management of patients with disabilities and/or rare diseases, helping to improve both treatment and monitoring pathways for young patients.
On May 7th, players Diego Carlos and Mauro Vigorito personally visited the hospital to officially deliver the device, meeting healthcare staff and bringing a message of closeness and joy to the children admitted to the ward.
The Sant’Anna staff expressed great gratitude for the gesture. “The closeness of Como Calcio is a precious gift for us. The players’ visits to the ward bring joy and smiles to our young patients and, in certain moments, a smile can be as valuable as medicine,” said Angelo Selicorni, Head of Paediatrics.
This initiative once again highlights Como 1907’s ongoing commitment to supporting the local community, showing how the values of sport can turn into concrete actions for the wellbeing of the area.
