Biopsychosocial variables aimed at improving the quality of life in the life cycle. José Manuel Tomás' career in the field of his research line is well known. He has co-directed with Amparo Oliver competitive longitudinal projects in the field under the MICIN/AEI/FEDER Challenges call for proposals. Currently in 2021-2022, together with Laura Badenes, he is the Director of the Official Master's Degree in Social and Health Care in Dependency at the Universitat de València. The scientific and technical objectives focus on identifying the variables that most influence the quality of life of the elderly, how they relate to each other and how we can work on them according to theoretical reference models from different cultures. We research both in the field of so-called successful elderly (such as active and healthy people who attend educational programmes for older adults), as well as older people living in community or those who are institutionalised. The research with national and international impact of the team members in this line is reflected in impact journals and includes research collaborations in the field with researchers from our own university, or collaborations with universities such as UNCC Charlotte in the USA, Universidad Privada del Norte in Lima-Peru or the Universidad de Costa Rica.
