I think that the answer is no they are not as important. From a biological perspective males have really only two functions; provide sperm for reproduction and protection for females with offspring. Once they start to decline than both those functions can be taken over by younger stronger males and there is no incentive to keep them alive. Older females on the other hand still contribute to the group welfare.
Women are more social than men and often take an interest in their health and the health of their children. Men on the other hand take an interest in sports, sex, and (can't think of anything else lol lol). Now of course there are men who are in a committed family relationship (such as my father) and contribute to the well being of their loved ones in many different ways. Thesemen have wives,daughters, and mothers who are deeplyconcerned for their well being and health, but without support they would show little interest in their own health. Health access is a female thing
