Maybe the title should be changed to match the actual paper title "Trends in Obesity Among Adults in the United States 2005 to 2014" ?

EDIT: as some people mentioned below that the title does match a sentence in the conclusion. The study is still for women and men, and has interesting cross-sectional data for both.

"For women, the prevalence of overall obesity and of class 3 obesity showed significant linear trends for increase between 2005 and 2014; there were no significant trends for men."

Or it could summarize the conclusions of the article
