Adipocere formation depends upon multiple environmental factors. In comparison with temperate countries, it usually develops early in the subtropical climate. We have studied a retrospective data of 31 cases with adipocere formation at Department of Forensic Medicine at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Most of the cases were recovered during the month of May to October from closed rooms at home, open grounds, open forest areas, various water sources, and riverbanks. The time duration of recovery from the time of death was from 12 h to 7 days 12 h. In 10 cases, adipocere formation was seen within 2 days, and in four male cases among them, the adipocere formed within a day. Most of the bodies showing adipocere formation within 2 days were recovered from land. These facts showed that subtropical climate having hot and humid weather promotes early adipocere formation compared to temperate climate.
尸蜡形成取决于多种环境因素。与温带国家相比，尸蜡通常在亚热带气候中更早形成。我们研究了新德里全印度医学科学研究所法医学系31例尸蜡形成的回顾性数据。大多数案例是在5月至10月期间从家中封闭房间、开阔场地、开阔林区、各种水源和河岸找到的。从死亡时间到找到尸体的时长为12小时至7天12小时。在10个案例中，2天内可见尸蜡形成，其中4例男性案例尸蜡在1天内形成。大多数在2天内出现尸蜡形成的尸体是从陆地上找到的。这些事实表明，与温带气候相比，炎热潮湿的亚热带气候促进尸蜡更早形成。
