Numerous scientific studies have confirmed that the increased salt intake leads to increased blood pressure and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. It has been found that the largest salt intake is achieved by eating cereals and their products, including different kinds of bread. The research of nutrition habits of the population of the Republic of Srpska has proven that white bread is most commonly consumed of all cereals. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study is to determine the salt content in white bread and salt intake assessed by eating white bread, and to indicate the public health importance of regular control of salt in cereals and cereal products. Patients and Methods: Determining the content of salt in white bread (n = 96) was conducted as cross-sectional study, using Mohr ́s method and specific geographical distribution patterns. Descriptive statistic indicators were used in the survey (the number of samples, minimum and maximum values, standard deviation). T test and Sheffe’s post-hoc test were used for testing the significance of differences in salt content in white bread. Results: The results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in the content of salt in white bread at the regional level as well as at the level of the region and the Republic of Srpska. The estimated intake of salt by eating white bread clearly pointed to the cardiovascular risk of the population of the Republic of Srpska and confirmed the importance of the public health necessity of the regulations that would ensure continuous monitoring of the salt content in white bread and other cereal products. Conclusion: Salt intake assessed by eating white bread in population of the Republic of Srpska is bigger than the one in the population of the Republic of Serbia and Portugal. Estimated salt intake by eating white bread can be assessed as high and risky for cardiovascular health. It is necessary to continuously implement and educate the population in the area of proper nutrition.
