You're not wrong. The graphs (figures 7 and 8) don't match the numbers. I think the graphs are mislabeled.

But even if the graphs are mislabeled, the numbers don't agree with the statement. The 2010 data for prevalence of obese men shows an increase from 27% to 29%... without error bars given. In what world does that translate to "over 4 times more likely to be classified as morbidly obese"?
