Abstract To analyze the social cognition of Alzheimer's disease, and to provide references for strengthening the intervention of Alzheimer's disease. Methods: From January to June 2019, 1259 residents over the age of 20 years old in Zhenjiang city were selected as research subjects, and the data were collected by questionnaire survey to analyze the public's cognitive status of Alzheimer's disease. Results: Only 14.7% of the subjects knew very much about the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and 35.0% of them did not. 63.8% of the subjects had a certain degree of prejudice against Alzheimer's disease, especially in rural areas. The age, the gender, the occupation, the education level, and the other factors of the subjects were significantly correlated with their cognition for Alzheimer's disease, among which, the age and the education level of the subjects were more closely related to their cognition for Alzheimer's disease. Conclusion: It is necessary to strengthen the public education of Alzheimer's disease-related knowledge and to improve public awareness and attention. The early intervention mechanism for Alzheimer's disease should be established and improved furtherly.
