Health app permissions

My health app wants to share information with contacts . I did not grant it permission and I do not share my health information with anyone in my contacts. Also How can I stop it besides shutting it off

after going thru all my contacts that have an iPhone and deleting them one by one, I found I was sharing with one contact for some reason After delete this contact, the health app stopped accessing contacts. After reading a number of posts on this subject I believe that it is just a system bug and could be addressed by apple.Apple now lets use view things that we couldn’t before and while it is beneficial, it also causes anxiety among privacy advocates I am one of those persons and I have had to learn that some of the inconsistencies are really just mundane and are not harmful to my privacy Thanks apple community for putting my fears to rest
