A 2020 review concluded that the adaptive immune system is affected more than the innate immune system. [1] Immunosenescence involves both the host's capacity to respond to infections and the development of long-term immune memory.

The size and development stage of maggots can be used to give a measure of the minimum time since death. [9]: 251–252 Insect activity occurs in a series of waves, and identifying the insects present can give additional information on the postmortem interval. [10] Adipocere, or corpse wax, may be formed, inhibiting further decomposition.
Senescence (/ s ɪ ˈ n ɛ s ə n s /) or biological aging is the gradual deterioration of functional characteristics in living organisms. Whole organism senescence involves an increase in death rates or a decrease in fecundity with increasing age, at least in the later part of an organism's life cycle.
