the claim

Women generally develop coronary artery disease about 10 years later than men because before menopause the body makes more estrogen, which helps protect against heart disease.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that women generally develop coronary artery disease about 10 years later than men because before menopause the body makes more estrogen, which helps protect against heart disease?

Yes. Evidence consistently shows that premenopausal women have a lower risk of coronary artery disease compared to men due to the protective effects of estrogen, with cardiovascular risk accelerating significantly after menopause.

The analysis

Multiple contemporary papers support the premise that endogenous estrogens protect against cardiovascular disease and that the menopausal transition accelerates vascular risk in women, explaining the delayed onset of coronary artery disease relative to men.
