The YPLL were generally higher for clients with MMI diagnoses than for clients with non-MMI diagnoses, with a median difference that was almost 2 years higher overall (Table 3). In four states, clients with MMI diagnoses had higher YPLL during all years compared. In Missouri during 2 of 4 years, clients with MMI diagnoses had higher YPLL. Utah clients with MMI diagnoses lost slightly fewer years (0.3 years) during 1999. Even though clients with MMI diagnoses in Utah during 1999 died at a slightly younger mean age than clients with non-MMI diagnoses, the clients with MMI diagnoses still had slightly lower YPLL. Data were not available for Arizona and Vermont.
