In the US, anyway, we measure people by a combination of feet and inches. Height (for people) is typically expressed in one of three ways:
#1 [feet] foot [inches] EXAMPLE: I am five foot four
#2 [feet], [inches] EXAMPLE: I am five, four
#3 [feet]' [inches]" EXAMPLE: I am 5' 4"
NOTE: For #1, you say the number of feet, the word "foot," and the number of inches. For #2, you just say the number of feet followed by the number of inches. For number three, the apostrophe symbol ' following a number indicates that number is feet, and the quotation mark " following the next number indicates that number is inches.
Metres are typically used to measure a person's height as it provides a more practical and accurate representation. In some cases, centimetres may also be used for precision, particularly when dealing with infants or younger children.
