svyhist
Thomas, Sorry about my repeat typo in the line () function, which caused the distortion of the line that did not match in the earlier graph. The revised code gives me the graphs that look lot better (please see the attachment). Thank you for catching that mistake and also for providing clarification regarding the kernel density estimator.

The line isn't a theoretical distribution, it's a kernel density
estimator and so should match your histogram.
It looks as though you use exactly the same call
lines (svysmooth(~dthage, bandwidth=5,subset(nhis, xspd2=='No SPD')), lwd=2)
for each plot, which gives a smooth curve estimating the age at death
for people with No SPD.
To get, eg, age at interview for the SPD group use something like:
lines (svysmooth(~age_p, bandwidth=5,subset(nhis, xspd2=='SPD')), lwd=2)
