A short YouTube talk by Dr. Charles Mok summarizing clinical evidence that initiating hormone replacement therapy (HRT) within about 6–10 years of menopause is associated with roughly a 40% reduction in cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death. The speaker also states that long-term all-cause mortality is reduced by about 10% in women who started HRT within about a decade of menopause, and notes that multiple studies (some newer than a referenced book) support these findings.

When we start looking back at the information more intently, because it's been out 20 years, we identify that women who were started on the hormone replacement therapy, even these strong synthetic hormones, within six to 10 years of menopause had about a 40% reduction in cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death. And we look at the all cause mortality, meaning dying of any cause. Women who are on hormone replacement therapy started within about a decade of menopause, which is how we normally did in practice, and they live longer. And several studies have been done since then. Some of them aren't in the book because they're newer, but the long term reduction of mortality in women on hormone replacement therapy is right around 10%.
