contributory causality
A contributory cause is a cause that is not sufficient to bring about an end or event but that helps in some way to bring about that end or event. A contributing cause may be a necessary condition or it may influence events more indirectly by affecting other conditions that make the event more likely.
In law this phenomenon is referred to as contributory liability when an injured person is partly to blame for their injury, e.g. failure to wear a seat belt.

I can remember 'co-causation' in the English law of tort and 'cumulative causation' in the Scots law of Delicts, rather than causality, but maybe I had not been paying attention...
Co-causation of reduced newborn size by maternal undernutrition, infections, and inflammation.
Causality (also called causation, or cause and effect) is influence by which one event, process, state, or object (a cause) contributes to the production of another event, process, state, or object (an effect)
