Abstract Objective To investigate the knowledge of social population about Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the application status of non-pharmacological therapies in AD treatment, as well as the acceptance and demand for non-pharmacological therapies using the Internet platform. Methods A questionnaire and WeChat QR code of AD and its non-pharmacological therapy were prepared, and the questionnaires were filled in and submitted by scanning the QR code of WeChat questionnaire. Results A total of 587 valid questionnaires were received, with 161 males and 426 females. The most common symptoms of AD were memory decrease (513) and decreased thinking ability (480). The 368 cases had more knowledge about age and 308 cases about genetic inheritance as AD risk factors. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the awareness of AD main symptom and risk factors were negatively associated with age (P＜0.001), and positively educational level and monthly income (P＜0.01). Logistic regression found that age (OR 0.800, 95% CI 0.705-0.908, P=0.001), educational level (OR 1.557, 95% CI 1.344-1.804, P＜0.001) and occupation (OR 1.082, 95% CI 1.003-1.167, P=0.040) were associated with the awareness of the AD main symptoms. The age (OR 0.669, 95% CI 0.581-0.770, P＜0.001), educational level (OR 1.451, 95% CI 1.181-1.785, P＜0.001) and monthly income (OR 1.246, 95% CI 1.072-1.448, P=0.004) were influential factores in the awareness of AD risk factors. Among the 90 respondents who had AD patients in their families, 86.7% expressed a strong or urgent need to change the troubles caused by AD to their families, 71.1% did not fully recognize, acknowledge, or understand non-pharmacological treatments for AD, and 82.2% of the respondents were willing to try non-pharmacological treatments by APP or other Internet ways. Conclusions The overall awareness rate of clinical manifestations and prevention knowledge of AD is low. At the same time, if people are eager to change the troubles caused by AD, they can consider using the Internet platform for AD education and try non-pharmacological treatment.
