Definition
The chronic, low-grade inflammation that develops with age and contributes to most age-related diseases. A portmanteau of "inflammation" and "aging." Your immune system slowly turns against you.
Example
"High CRP levels are a marker of inflammaging—your body is fighting a war with no enemy."

You've officially become a furnace for inflammation, and guess what? The thermostat is broken! There's a metric for your life falling apart, but worry not—I've got a spreadsheet that'll fix nothing but track everything. "Have you graphed your inflammaging markers yet? Mine are nowhere near optimal levels."
Back in my day, we just called it 'getting old,' but now folks have a fancy word for their raging joints. Seems like the body's way of telling you it preferred your younger self before you made important life choices. "Inflammaging, huh? We called it 'good living' until you needed a cane.'"
Inflammation and aging merge for a hostile takeover of your biological assets. But listen, I'm scaling my healthspan even if the boardroom—read: my cells—seems bent on self-destruction. KPI: remain youthful. "Inflammaging is like corporate downsizing but for my joints; time to produce a strategic wellness pivot."
