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."
Think of it as the evil cousin of acne, but for the elderly, chronic-flare with a sprinkle of aging. Best part? You can't just pop a pill and it's magically gone. Welcome to inflammaging, gateway to every 'but you're too young for that' syndrome. "They say inflammaging gets you, but I think pizza and Netflix are the real culprits."
Aging is your body's attempt to compete with forest fires—low-grade inflammation is your new personal trainer, pushing barriers without permission. But I’m still out here setting records, despite this rogue DJ in my joints playing all the wrong vibes. "Yeah, inflammaging makes it tough, but not as tough as beating 30-somethings at every 10K!"
