The double beta decay experiment NEMO-3 has compleated data taking in January 2011. The aim of the experiment is to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay and investigate the two-neutrino double beta decay in seven different isotopes ({sup 100}Mo, {sup 82}Se, {sup 116}Cd, {sup 150}Nd, {sup 96}Zr, {sup 48}Ca and {sup 130}Te). After analysis of the most part of available data corresponding to 4.5 yr no evidence for 0{nu}{beta}{beta} decay in {sup 100}Mo and {sup 82}Se is found. The half-life limits at 90% C.L. are 1.0x10{sup 24} yr and 3.2x10{sup 23} yr respectively. The two-neutrino decay half live values were precisely measured for all investigated isotopes.
