Hey, I'm new to survival analyses- sorry if this is an obvious question. I was trying around with generating survival curves in lifelines for a study I'm working on. However, I noticed that the Kaplan-Meier-curves look quite 'pessimistic' given the data, especially when defining an entry point (but even without it). Here is the Kaplan-Meier curves:
For some context: The entry age for this study is ~20, and we have data only up to ~age 40. The condition we're looking at should increase with age, but there is a kind of interesting bias in our data, whereby a larger proportion of the older study participants are unaffected. I'm fitting Cox-hazards models (I haven't decided yet whether to try and left-censor it) and wanted to plot Kaplan-Meier curves along with it. Here are some plots of the data itself:

So to my questions: Do the Kaplan-Meier curves look as you would expect?
