Ettersom Alzheimers sykdom er svært utbredt, har mange kjente mennesker utviklet sykdommen. Kjente eksempler er USAs forhenværende president [[Ronald Reagan]] og den irske forfatteren [[Iris Murdoch]], der sykdommen hos begge ble omtalt i vitenskapelige artikler som beskrev hvordan deres kognitive kapasitet ble forverret med sykdommen.<ref name="pmid15574466"/><ref name="pmid15461232"/><ref name="pmid15788549"/> Andre kjente tilfeller er Norges tidligere fiskeriminister [[Jan Henry T. Olsen]], tidligere statsminister [[Harold Wilson]] (Storbritannia) og Adolfo Suárez ([[Spania]])<ref>{{cite web
