I don't think so - men are heavier than women on average, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight .

  They did select "relatively sedentary humans"; perhaps in that subset, women are heavier than men? - Men tend to do more muscle-increasing sport than women; meaning a sedentary man isn't gaining that muscle weight. - Women tend to do more cardio activities to burn fat; meaning an active women may be losing weight. I suspect you're right about it being a misprint though.

    >men aren't gaining that muscle weight they already have >Women tend to do more cardio activities to burn fat; meaning an active women may be losing weight. The muscle weight is a metabolic load that requires constant caloric intake to support, sedentary women do more cardio to compensate for their otherwise low metabolism. May not be a misprint.
