Abdominal obesity (AO) is a global public health concern with few reviews on the underlying causes. Here, we conduct a systematic review on the causes of AO using publications indexed in PubMed from April 1, 2017, to March 31, 2022. 46 out of 199 (23%) articles were included, revealing 10 themes of causes; namely, (a) age, gender, socioeconomic, and genetic / biological determinants, (b) nutritional intake, (c) lifestyle habits, (d) mental and cognitive disorders, (e) smoking, (f) gastrointestinal microbiota, (g) alcohol consumption, (h) rural regions, (i) non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and (j) noise pollution.
