It depends. Does the URL still accurately describe the content? And while titles and URLs don't need to match (just as headings and titles don't either), they should correlate closely.

Think about how it will impact users. If the user remembers the title/heading of the page being "20 ways to eat healthy" but the URL is /10-ways-to-lose-weight, then it could cause some confusion.

It's better to lose some short-term search ranking if it results in better usability. Though if the content undergoes a significant change, you may consider just creating a new page.
