Abstract
Our findings in the general population do not confirm most clinically reported positive associations between specific medications and ANA in some individuals. However, novel positive ANA associations with other medications, as well as unexplained inverse associations with certain classes of medications and overall medication use, deserve further research to clarify the possible roles of medications as risk and protective factors in the development of autoantibodies and autoimmune disease.
