Up to 54% reduction in stroke risk if on estrogen for 10 years or more.

Yes — the speaker states women who start HRT in their 60s still had protection.

So in Europe, there's about 4 million women. Years of study showing that the longer they're on estrogen, the more protection they got, particularly from cardiovascular disease, strokes. Any estrogen protects against stroke, but transdermal or palate or cream reduces risk of stroke up to 54% if you're on 10 years or more. So massive reduction. And even women that start hrt in their 60s, well into menopause, they still had protection.
