No matter what country you live in, there are units of measurement you’re more familiar with than others. For example, users from the United States are more familiar with entering their height and weight using feet, inches, and pounds. Other countries that use the metric system are more familiar with centimeters and kilograms.
Instead of forcing users to convert their height and weight to the required units, you could use a toggle segment that allows them to choose an “imperial” or “metric” system. Do you think this is the best way to enter units of measurement? Can you think of a better way?
I've seen some placing a select field on the side of the height field, where you can choose "cm" or "ft". Using radio buttons or a toggle "cm"-"ft" could work well too, as it would require even less clicks, and you don't rely on the user knowing what "imperial" and "metric" means

I suggest using a toggle button instead. It could be labeled as 'Use cm' with an ON/OFF option.
