Is it possible for a 57 year old man to have alzeimer's? his mother has it, she's in her early 70's and was diagnosed a few years ago.

Yes: Per Mayo Clinic: "About 5% to 6% of people with Alzheimer's disease develop symptoms before age 65." This is called Young-onset or early-onset Alzheimer's. However, sometimes the person has another form of dementia which was misdiagnsed as Alzheimer's.
