A medical speaker summarizes evidence that women who begin hormone replacement therapy (HRT) within about 6–10 years (roughly a decade) of menopause experience substantial cardiovascular benefits—about a 40% reduction in cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death—and an overall long-term reduction in all-cause mortality of about 10%. The speaker notes newer studies exist beyond those cited in a referenced book.

Chapters

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%.
