The following is the list of character birth dates and ages throughout Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT. The list is based on age information stated in the manga/anime, given in Dragon Ball guides, and most taken from the actual timeline. This list includes the Dragon Team and their support, most villains, and other characters. Some factors, such as training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, are factored in and noted when the occurrence happens. Another notable change is death. The biggest example is Goku, who was dead for seven years, causing him not to age, thus making him physically the same age he was when he died upon his return to Earth, and this is clearly noted.
In regards to the some of the ages given, many are never actually stated and so are rough estimates.
*The following lists are compiled using the years given in the guidebooks and video games, which are different to the ones used in Weekly Jump (2015) and Dragon Ball Super: Broly, and also ignore Shenron's additional summoning in the Super anime as well as Granolah's explanation of the history of Cereal in the Super manga. It also assumes Bulma's claim to be 38 in Battle of Gods is false.*

How does training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber affect the characters' ages in Dragon Ball?
The Hyperbolic Time Chamber provides a year's time to one day on the outside. So, after a year in the chamber, a person ages a year beyond their actual age.
