Generally more capitalist countries have better health than the highly socialists countries.

They do? I think you are very wrong. For an example, why are we behind in life longevity and infant mortality rate?

Here are the numbers for those parameters for some countries you consider socialist: Germany's are: 4.08 per 1000 live births and 79; France's: 3.41 and 81; Japan's: 6.37 and 82.........and the US's: 6.37 and 78. Those statistics come directly from CIA. Not only are you in denial but you are badly informed. You need to start reading creditable sources for your information.

cia.gov

The title of the article claims that the study finds that capitalism is bad for men's health but nothing in the article supports that contention.

Many aspects of our capitalist lifestyle are destroying our health.......that is hardly news for anyone reading creditable publications.

Any change can cause stress, and obviously there has been a lot of change in Eastern Europe. An increased level of capitalism wasn't the only change, and some of the countries in the study that moved most strongly to capitalism are the countries where the study observed the least increase in "the gap " between male mortality and female mortality. Also "the gap" isn't the real issue, but rather changes in male mortality. The gap increases as female mortality decreases, but that isn't unhealthy for men.

Hogwash!
