Measurement-unit preference axes carried on Patient extensions (ADR 0219): distance (km / mi), weight (kg / lb), temperature (Celsius / Fahrenheit). Three INDEPENDENT axes, deliberately not one metric/imperial switch — the hybrid athlete (miles on the road, kilograms on the scale, Celsius in the weather) is the realistic case a bundled toggle cannot express. Absent extension on every axis means the metric default; storage is never affected (source units are kept, conversion happens only where a computation or a narration needs the other unit).
