How can I change the settings in the Health App from Imperial to metric - eg to metres and kilos ?

We may have to wait for an update. Aside from changing the country, I'm not sucre this can be done. There is no Health App in the System preferences and no way to modify from within the app. Weird.

If you go to Language & Region under general settings and choose any other country, you will get Metric. I have the opposite problem. I live in a Metric country and want my health app to be in lbs and inches which is what I am used to.

The Scruff response is pretty much what I suggested. Hopefully there is a less round-about method and more control is provided. Every app should have control over units so that the user can what units they want, where they want.

I think this solves your problem

So annoying, it used to be a problem with ios calendar only allowing weeks to start on a Monday if you were in the UK or Sunday in the US now fixed at last.

hope Apple fix this soon.

Yes Apple, even we in Canada generally see our weight in pounds, not kilograms! Please fix this!

You should contact Apple then and make a request.
