The concept of attributable risk (
AR
), introduced more than 50 years ago, quantifies the proportion of cases diseased due to a certain exposure (risk) factor. While valid approaches to the estimation of crude or adjusted
AR
exist, a problem remains concerning the attribution of
AR
to each of a set of several exposure factors. Inspired by mathematical game theory, namely, the axioms of fairness and the Shapley value, introduced by Shapley in 1953, the concept of partial
AR
has been developed. The partial
AR
offers a unique solution for allocating shares of
AR
to a number of exposure factors of interest, as illustrated by data from the German Göttingen Risk, Incidence, and Prevalence Study (G.R.I.P.S.).
