Correlation doesn't imply causation. I'm just going by the quoted piece of text, but I suspect the man on the other end of that 'conclusion' didn't complete elementary school.
The obvious correlation, that follows the causation, is: people get fatter as they get older, and they accumulate more sexual partners as the years go by.
I won't pay 30$ for access to the study but I highly doubt they did not control for age. And it says 'adolescent' which at least implies relatively narrow age range.
