Objective:  We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) in discriminating Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia from normal cognition. Additionally, its clinical utility in predicting the transition from normal cognition to MCI and dementia over the course of several years was explored.  Method:  In total, 1037 older adults (633 women) who completed the CDT in a baseline assessment were drawn from the population-based HELIAD cohort. Among these, 848 participants were identified as cognitively normal, 142 as having MCI and 47 with dementia during the baseline assessment. Of these individuals, 565 attended the follow-up assessment (mean interval: 3.21 years). ROC curve and binary logistic regression analyses were performed.  Results:  The CDT exhibited good diagnostic accuracy for the discrimination between dementia and normal cognition (AUC = .879, SN = .813, SP = .778, LR+ = 3.66, LR- = .240, &lt; .001,  d  = 1.655) and acceptable diagnostic accuracy for the discrimination between dementia and MCI (AUC=.761, SN= .750, SP= .689, LR+ = 2.41, LR- = .362,  p  &lt; .001,  d  = 1.003). We found limited diagnostic accuracy, however, for the discrimination between MCI and normal cognition (AUC = .686, SN = .764, SP = .502, LR+ = 1.53, LR- = .470,  p  &lt; .001,  d  = .685). Moreover, the CDT significantly predicted the transition from normal cognition to dementia [Exp(B)= 1.257,  p  = .022], as well as the transition from MCI to normal cognition [Exp(B) = 1.334,  p  = .023] during the longitudinal investigation.  Conclusions:  The CDT is a neuropsychological test with acceptable diagnostic accuracy for the discrimination of dementia from MCI and normal cognition. Furthermore, it has an important predictive value for the transition from normal cognition to dementia and from MCI to normal cognition.
